Sphodrotes punctuosa
Another Australian endemic genus not well represented in the BOLD reference collection is Sphodrotes. There are currently 5 specimens, and all a single species – S. nemoralis.

Having examined our local species in detail, I’m confident it is a different species – S. punctuosa.

Collected here by hand, 24th December 2025 (#2512C). Currently stored in ethanol, but soon to be pinned.
